Denplan

Many of our patients pay for their treatment through a monthly dental payment plan arranged for them by Denplan, the UK’s leading dental payment plan specialist. Denplan helps you budget for your routine dental care and treatment by making regular monthly payments to cover all your dental needs, including hygienist treatment.

Over twenty years experience with Denplan convinces us that it is the best way to care for your teeth and we strongly advise our patients to consider the advantages of the totally preventive approach that Denplan promotes.

The Denplan payment plan provides for the majority of dental treatment to maintain your dental health. The price you pay is dependent on the ‘health’ of your mouth so we carry out regular dental assessments to ensure that your plan is tailored specifically to you. Your plan will include the following treatment, when clinically necessary and where carried out at the practice by your registered dentist:

• Dental check-ups
• Hygiene appointments
• Dental x-rays
• Fillings
• Preventive dental advice and therapy
• Extractions
• Periodontal (gum) treatment
• Crowns, bridges, dentures, inlays (excluding laboratory fees)
• Supplementary Insurance arranged by Denplan, which provides you with worldwide dental injury and dental emergency cover and access to Denplan’s 24-hour Worldwide Dental Emergency Helpline

Denplan Excel accreditation

The objective of Excel is: 'To place you, the patient, at the centre of all activities'.

We were delighted to be one of the first practices to achieve Denplan Excel accreditation, and to have maintained it ever since. Excel is a quality standard which has been developed in conjunction with the British Dental Association, The Royal College of Surgeons and most importantly, the Patients Association. Achieving this standard involved an initial training programme and assessment followed by rigorous annual inspections. We have implemented the various strands of the programme throughout the years.

What's your dental score?

A central feature of Excel is the oral health score, expressed as a simple percentage. The scores are weighted high, so that 75% would be a very low score. As a benchmark, most of our regular patients score in the high 90s - which is ideal. We keep our patients informed about the health of their mouth and teeth so we can work together to prevent problems before they occur.

Denplan Excel Questionnaire

Excel also incorporates a confidential patient questionnaire. The report compiled from this survey gives us very useful feedback on how we are doing. Questionnaires are given to a random sample of our patients for detailed feedback on our performance.
